The Traffic Descriptor
When a connection is requested by an application, the application indicates to the network:
- The Type of Service required
- The Traffic Parameters of each data flow in both directions
- The Quality of Service (QoS) Parameters requested in each direction
These parameters form the traffic descriptor for the connection.

Famous quotes containing the word traffic:
“Irony, forsooth! Guard yourself, Engineer, from the sort of irony that thrives up here; guard yourself altogether from taking on their mental attitude! Where irony is not a direct and classic device of oratory, not for a moment equivocal to a healthy mind, it makes for depravity, it becomes a drawback to civilization, an unclean traffic with the forces of reaction, vice and materialism.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
